I want to change the default precision shown in my drawing from two decimal places to three. In my .idw file the "Units" tab does not seem to be there. I see Standard, Sketch, Drawing, Sheet. I could change each dimension one by one, but there's got to be an easier way.

If my style library is enabled in project it always refresh definitions whenever i create a document using template and press update the window in snapshot shows up.
Is there any way to do vice versa - i.e. get all these items updated in style library as per the current document setting.
Im looking to make a simple ilogic rule that can toggle an option in the document settings, the setting I would like to change is the Document settings> Modeling> Participate in assembly and drawing sections
I would like a form to switch the option on and off quickly, its a really usefull function however I know a few of my colleagues wont use if they cant find it easly.
Im adjusting the CAD setup in our company, and therefore im looking for a way do change the document settings on all parts in an assembly (or the whole CAD directory) the easiest way possible.!
I have attached a picture of the setting i would like changed.
Is it possible with some Autodesk task scheduler tools..?
or can it be done with an ilogic rule?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPC, Windows 7, AI CC..I have a document that displays units in points, and when I change the unit type to inches in the preferences panel and the Document Setup panel, the change won't apply.

I've tried saving as a new document, restarting, etc. I even tried setting the units to other units... doesn't matter what I have the units set to in preferences, it's always displaying points.
Everythime when starting a new project I first go to 'Options' > 'Units' > 'Page units' and set it from 'Inch' to 'Pixels' is there a way to set this as default ?
Note: I'm currently using the old free version Xtreme 5 Silver because lost the paid version after a system format and register code that didn't work anymore, perhaps of newer version there an easy setting for that, on this one I haven't found it yet.
I am trying to resize the artboard so it will be an exact size in pixels. However whenever I use the artboard tool, the contextual toolbar will show me the size in mm.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I open Xara I have to change the default settings under "Utilities", "Options", "Units" from inches to pixels. There are other default settings I'd like to change as well, but my question is how do I change those settings to default so that when I open Xara, I don't have to go reset them? This is a PITA! I have searched through the help files and don't see any info on changing the standard default settings!

It's frustrating to have to change these back to the settings that I am currently using for this document.

This also seems to apply to the windows down the right hand side that seem to open in default as opposed to how I last left them when I saved and closed Illustrator.

I'd sort of assumed that Illustrator would 'remember' my previous settings etc and open in that way. Is there a way of opening with the same, previous settings?

Our school rercently updated to Inventor 2014, When working starting a new assembly we seslect the standard mm ipt icon, however as soon as you create a new compont it defaults to inches, we can change the units using styles editor, but this only changes this componont when you create another part it also defaults to inches.
Can you change the setup so that it will always be in mm.
I created an idw and annotated all the dimensions in default to inches. Is it possible to switch all of the units from inches to mm at one time? If so, how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are using Inventor 2013 (Windows 7) and am trying to import an assembly created by a third party using AutoCAD. For the sake of this question let's assume the AutoCAD file contains a cube which is 10 x 10 x 10 units. The part should be 10 x 10 x 10 mm in size. We don't use AutoCAD so are unfamiliar with it but it appears to have no specified units, I could be very wrong here!
In Inventor we import the .dwg file and the cube is 10 x 10 x 10 inches in size.We can't figure out if the person who constructed the cube built it too large (reading mm off the drawing but constructing it using inches) or if we have missed something when importing the file into Inventor. We could scale the AutoCAD assemby but this could lead to a small but significant margin for error so we want to understand what is happening first.

- I have drawing partslists with parameters that change automaticly
- Based on a main assembly with a customized structured BOM, with information I fetch from the individual parts exported parameters (Ex. =Length <part-length>)
- The main assembly is based on many sub-assemblys
- Based on "Make Component" skeletonmodels
- Based on embedded EXCEL worksheets in where I control my parameter values.
Now the problem expl.:
- Total I have about maybe 50 parts, witch have 15 parameters each, that I need to control this way.
- In every single part I have derived it's parameters from the skeleton part, and exported them.
- On some parameters I don't want to show the units, in most of the parameters I don't want the trial zeros.
So in the individual parts parameter table I choose "Custom Property Format" for the exported parametern in every individual part.
-uncheck "Trailing Zeros" and check  "Apply to existing...", then uncheck "Unit String" for some parameters.
I lot of setup work with 50 parts, 15 parameters each (750 individual parameters).Every time I change a dimension in the embedded EXCEL worksheet, ex. a pipe dimension and thickness, a diameter for a revolved feature and so on, the units go back to it's default values again and I have to do all this parameter setup "Custom Property Format" again.
My drawing template title block has a section for estimated weight. This value and overall size is used to determine shipping methods of our products. This value is pulled from the Type->Physical Properties-Model and Property->MASS. There is no option to turn off units. When our clients look at the drawing, they often get confused with lbmass unit. example; When someone asks what the weight of the product is, we dont say it is 1300 pound mass, we say it is 1300 pounds. I have looked around all different forums and found no complete answer or solution to this.
The only thing closest to a solution that I found on this forum is to create a rule that creates a custom iproperty within the model. [URL]........Â
You then have to create a text field in your title block that populates from that custom iproperty but can only be done when a base view is inserted from a model that has the custom iproperty rule applied.
From what I have tried, you can create a .ipt template to save you from creating that rule to create a custom iproperty each and every time, but to populate the title block field, a user needs to create that text field and draw from that custom iproperty once the base view is set on the drawing.
I also found a way to incorporate mass without units but the information will be put into the parts list. So instead of the weight being "automatically" entered into the title block after inserting base view, I could create a parts list for every drawing. (Not a good solution) [URL].........
One last solution that I found, is there used to be a tool called iProperty Collection[URL]....... that gave users the ability to customize some Inventor functions. One being the ability to change the unit displayed for MASS. I haven't tried using this tool because the last update off the website stated in 2009; says the software is not compatible with Inventor 2009 64bit, since I am using Inventor 2012 64bit, I think this is a dead end.Â
I have a BOM that shows up as in units for length items and unitless for qty items.  When I change the  UOM to use FT units the non-length units get inch ticks.  The qty 1 which means I need one shows up as 1" where I do not require a 1 inch part but one each.  How do I remove the inch ticks?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt seems that parameters can not mix units. You can not use in or ul in a deg parameter. I want to roll a cylinder using a contour roll but I want the cylinder to have about an 1/8 gap at the seam no matter what the diameter of the cylinder is. So in order to calculate the calculated rolled angle I need to use "360-((0.125/CYLINDER_DIAMETER)/0.017453292)". I can not seem to get this equation in the parameter value because it has mixed units or in the multi-value custom equation. I can make another parameter that is ul and have it calculate it but I can not feed this value back to the contour roll parameter. I assume that the calulated parameter is ul and the contour roll parameter is deg.
